Ottman Azaitar walking out of his first UFC career with an extra $50,000 in his pocket.
It will be hard to deny the Octagon newcomer a fight night bonus, given that he made a spectacular debut with a one-shot KO of Teemu Packalen in a UFC 242 lightweight preliminary bout Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
Azaitar, the brother of UFC middleweight Abu Azaitar, threw an absolute hammer that collided clean with the side of Packalen’s head causing Packalen to fall face-first onto the mat. The official time of the stoppage was at the 3:31 mark of round one.
